This site is 1,438 acres of restored oak
savanna and prairie, partly done to save
the endangered oak savanna community,
and partly to encourage its Karner
Blue Butterfly population. The prairie
habitat is vital nesting cover for
Bobolinks, Grasshopper, Field and
Vesper Sparrows, and both Eastern and
Western Meadowlarks. Look for Karner
Blue Butterflies in June and July where
lupine plants mix with the stands of
prairie grasses. Intermixed with beautiful
prairie wildflowers are monarch butterflies
and prairie mammals like 13-lined ground squirrels and badgers. You
can also hike the Ice Age Trail at this
site.
